Jeremy Lamb 19 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

Here’s a hot take for you: the reason that the Hornets have won five out of their last twenty-five games is because they haven’t been giving Jeremy Lamb enough minutes! Now, was that or was that not the most sizzling, scorching, red-hot take ever? But if you look at the situation closer, you might realize…

Malcolm Brogdon 15 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

It’s time for the Bucks to start Malcolm Brogdon. Not just time. Way past time. I understand the Bucks might not want to admit “Hey we screwed up by signing this vegemite-addicted bogan to a big contract because he looked really good when he got to play with LeBron” but if they’re serious about making…

Terry Rozier 13 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

When I look at Terry Rozier I see one player and one player only: Isaiah Canaan. Both of then are nominally “point guards” because of their height but they’re both more like midget shooting guards. Both of them struggle to finish at the rim because of their small size, and, because of this, both of…

Maurice Harkless 18 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

Moe Harkless is having the best season of his career, statistically. He’s scoring at a higher rate and at higher percentages than he ever has before, and while the Blazers aren’t having as much team success as one would hope, I’m sure Lillard and McCollum appreciate having a guy on their team who isn’t utterly…

Nicolas Batum 31 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

I thought for sure that eight would be the most three-balls that Nic Batum had hit in a game. After all, Batum is a decent three-point shooter, but he’s never been one who takes a high volume of shots from out there. However, back in 2012 while was still on the Blazers, he hit nine…

Michael Beasley 17 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

Michael Beasley has been playing well for the Bucks. Almost… too well. No, I’m not thinking steroids. I know I always bring up steroids as a reason for a formerly bad player playing well, but that’s not the case this time. Well, it kind of is. Is Adderall a steroid? Because I think it explains…

Serge Ibaka 18 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

The Sergeballu LaMu Sayonga Loom Walahas Jonas Hugo Ibaka experiment was a failure in Orlando. Not Sergeballu’s fault, really, short of LeBron, there wasn’t much that was going to get that team into the playoffs. So the Magic did the right thing and traded him to a team that is poised to not only make…

Bojan Bogdanovic 15 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

Normally 15 points wouldn’t be highlight-worthy for Bojan Bogdanovic, but I’m making an exception here. This is his first good game with the Wizards, coming on the heels of a pretty bad one in his debut. So there is some historicity going on here. When we’re talking about a Croatian HOF legend for the Washington…

Alan Williams Career High 17 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

The Bucks, in the first half of this game, simply could not handle the overabundance of SAUCE coming at them from all directions. There was simply too much SAUCE. BIG SAUCE. I pretty much couldn’t believe how thoroughly Alan Williams was dominating Greg Monroe. Like, just staring at the screen in disbelief. And I’m a…

T.J. Warren 23 Points Full Highlights (2/26/2017)

I was so hyped for T.J. Warren at the start of the season. That 30 point game he had in the second game may have distorted my expectations of what he could do, but that’s not my fault. It’s HIS fault for playing so good and then getting head-injured and not being the same after…
